LIDAR Sensors Market Research Report 2018

LIDAR Sensors Market To Grow At A CAGR Of 25% By 2018 to 2023. This LIDAR Sensors Market Growth is boosted by factors such as increasing use in the self-driving cars, strengths of LIDAR sensors such as high angular resolution and wide view that is required for proper mid-range detection, LIDAR sensors serve as a perfect connection between close ranges and far range sensor systems.In future, the market has been projected to grow, as major players greatly focus on both, decreasing the cost and increasing the range and resolution of the LIDAR sensors.

LIDAR SENSOR or remote sensing uses laser pulses to map the spatial profile of the object under study accurately. The substitution of electromagnetic radiation with Laser for measurement leads to higher accuracy, owing to better reflectance, and coherence. Automotive LIDAR sensors are used to detect objects and hurdles encountering a driverless car.

The Advent of Assisted or Automated Driverless Cars is the Prime Market Opportunity

The foray of major technology companies such as Google in automated driverless cars is a significant market opportunity. The potential application expanse such as driverless trains, military vehicles, sewage cleaning robots and drones, extra-terrestrial planetary exploration is a prime driver of the market.

The attractive benefits of LIDAR to scan a wide range of materials, including both metals and non-metals, rocks, rain, and others with high accuracy, coupled with the generation of 3D images and maps has led to an expanse of the market. LIDAR can measure physical features with a very high resolution of 30-centimetre making it a critical technology for precision maneuverability of vehicles. Thus LIDAR has been classified as a strategic technology as exemplified by the U.S. Geological Survey Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR.

Advances in Sensor Technology are the Prime Market Determinant

Advances in sensor technology, exemplified by the development of solid-state LiDAR sensors is resulting in the higher adoption of the technology owing to its higher precision lower cost, size, and reliability. Solid-state LiDAR sensors involve no mechanical components and thus have an advantage of being less complicated, have no limitations in field-of-view coverage as compared to mechanical scanning LiDARs.

The High Cost of Installation and Maintenance Expected to Hamper the Market Growth

The high cost of installation and maintenance coupled with the high degree of secrecy hinders the development of the market. The nascent stage of technology and the lack of standard infrastructure in developing regions are the most substantial restraint on the market.
